COMPANIES The hedge fund siege of Deutsche Börse lifted on Tuesday when Atticus Capital, one of two funds that have run on-off assaults on the German exchange for the past four years, said it had sold almost all of its stake.
Shares in the Börse jumped 9.3 per cent to €45.38 after the announcement, as investors concluded that selling pressure had been lifted by the exit of New York-based Atticus, founded by Tim Barakett and chaired by Nat Rothschild, son of Lord Rothschild.
